He became the fourth Indian player to achieve it after Sachin Tendulkar (164), Rahul Dravid (146) and Sourav Ganguly (107).
Dhoni's fifty came in a crucial position in the match when hosts were reduced to 87/5 in the 22nd over by Australian bowlers.
Dhoni (79 from 88 balls) and all-rounder Hardik Pandya (83 from 66 balls) joined in creating a 118-run sixth wicket partnership to rescue the hosts.
India posted 281 for the loss of seven wickets in the innings.
Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar congratulated him by tweeting: "Yet another 100 for @msdhoni! This time in front of the stumps! Congratulations on a century of 50s Mahi ."
